Esquire Presents Me in My Place with Claire Coffee

You want to know Claire Coffee. And yet you almost don't. She was on a few West Wing episodes, and then Aaron Sorkin left and she wasn't anymore. She was on General Hospital, and then James Franco came and she was already gone. She was on that show with Zach Morris that you probably didn't watch, and now she's on NBC's Grimm, which you might not either — unless your kid is really into making you stay home watching fairy tales come true on Friday nights. (Which is just fine.) But she is herself a kind of fairy tale, in that she is smart enough to keep up with Sorkin and Franco, and she watches sports and she hates the Lakers and she is blonde and she is pretty damn funny. "My timing is just shitty," she says. It's about time Claire Coffee stopped being so hard to get to know. So she invited over our photographer friend from Me in My Place, which was a very good idea indeed. —The Editors

I grew up in the heyday of the 49ers — Joe Montana and Steve Young. Around the holidays, when you're supposed to have your kids take a picture with Santa Claus, my mom took us to take a picture with Ray Wersching. The Niners kicker.
